HydraGen is a tool that allows generating a wide range of microservice benchmarks in a systematic and flexible way. This tool facilitates evaluating performance and scalability of various resource management strategies entailing microservice-based architectures hosted in cloud environments. Currently, HydraGen can generate benchmarks emulating web-based applications with HTTP or gRPC servers.
HydraGen is a free software. You can use, distribute and/or modify it under the terms of Apache 2.0 license.
HydraGen's developement is driven by both Ericsson Research and Umea University.
The design and evaluation of HydraGen is being published at IEEE Cloud 2023.
